CR2002-54 Precinct boundarys . . March 27,2002 Council Report 2002-54 Approve New Precinct Boundary Lines And Polling Places Proposed Action Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to adopt resolution 2002-27, establishin~ new precinct boundary lines and pollinq places. Overview State and Federal Redistricting is complete. As a result, Hopkins was divided into two Congressional Districts, 3 & 5. That division requires the City to establish new precinct boundaries. The precincts cannot cross Congressional lines. The Legislative District has not changed for the City of Hopkins. The City is still in District 44A. Establishing the precinct boundary lines is the second step in completing the redistricting . process. Once the City establishes the precinct boundaries, the information is sent to the Secretary of State and Hennepin County. Hennepin County will then establish County Commission Districts and begin printing maps. The City's portion of redistricting must be completed by April 30, 2002. Hennepin County and other districts must be completed by May 28. Issues to Consider . How were the boundaries determined . Polling Places SupportinQ Documents . Map showing Congressional Boundaries .

Financial Impact: $_approx. $1 OOO_Budgeted: Y/N _ Source: J Related Documents (CIP, ERP, etc.): Notes: Council Report 2002-54 Page 2 How were the precinct boundaries determined . A census map showing the block population of persons over 18 years of age was obtained from Hennepin County. The lines were drawn into six districts with approximately 2,000 to 2,200 population of persons over 18 years of age. The number of registered voters in each precinct will not be known until the boundary information is entered into the State system, but they should be relatively even. The number of registered voters in each precinct is estimated to be between 1400 and 1600. Adjustments may have to be made to the boundaries next year. In view of budget issues this year, staff determined that fewer precincts will require fewer judges, materials, etc. This will result in lower costs associated with elections. The size of the precincts is comfortable to work with and should not be a problem. In the past precincts have ranged from approximately 700 to approximately 1700 registered voters. By making the size more uniform, we can work with fewer precincts. Pollin~ Places The polling places will be as follows: Precinct 1 Zion Lutheran Church 241 5th Avenue North . Precinct 2 Living Water Christian Church 1008 2nd St N.E.
